Looking forward to this seminar. Such an honor to be in a line -up with so many researchers I admire. I'll be talking about my field experiment on consumer inertia and why attention isn't enough to overcome it!
CHIBE is hosting Dr. Christina Gravert for our next seminar series on Nov 26. Read our Q&A with @cgravert.bsky.social to see some key takeaways she hopes attendees come away with, as well as advice for researchers in terms of how to partner with external orgs. chibe.upenn.edu/blog/chibe-q...

Denmark is best in EU in getting workers back into jobs (twice the average rate). They also do tons of RCTs to find out what works and apply behavior science. Can’t say it’s causal, but it’s an interesting correlation at least.

Only one year after replacing their customer service and marketing team with AI agents, Klarna is regretting the decision and trying to re-hire workers. The quality was just too low to justify the cost-savings. So looks like AI isn't taking your job, just yet. futurism.com/klarna-opena...

This also raises some questions about PhD supervision and data protection at MIT - some supervisor would have needed to sign a data sharing agreement and a secure server would have been needed for the data. That’s a lot of paperwork.

And harm to the companies using results like this to spend billions on tools that don't work. So far there is very little evidence that AI tools increase productivity for complex tasks. This fake study was one of the only ones.

One of the best AI papers on productivity turned out to be made up - so disappointing! I really liked the paper and had it saved as „best paper on AI“. Too good to be true! As much of AI claims to fame. www.msn.com/en-us/money/...
